YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN 2003 WHEN .............

1. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they
   do not have e-mail addresses.

2. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

3. You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat.
   He e-mails you back from his bedroom, "What's for dinner?"

4. Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her web site.

5. You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa,
   but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor yet this year.

6. You check the ingredients on a can of chicken noodle soup 
   to see if it contains Echinacea.

7. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn 
   so she can create a screen saver.

8. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone 
   to see if anyone is home.

9. Every commercial on television has a web site address at the
   bottom of the screen.

10. You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date and now
    sells for half the price you paid.

11. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have 
    the first 40 or 50 years plus of your life, is now a cause for panic 
    and you turn around to go get it.

12. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase 
    would be a hassle and takes planning.

13. Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags 
    out of the back seat of your car.

14. You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.

15. You consider second day air delivery painfully slow.

16. Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet.

17. Your idea of being organized is multiple colored Post-it notes.

18. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.

19. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.

20. You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, 
    as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.

21. You get up in the morning and go on-line before getting your coffee.

22. You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your E-mail
    on your way back to bed.

23. You start tilting your head sideways to smile :-)

24. You're reading this.

25. Even worse; you're going to forward it to someone else.
